There are many examples on this forum and others of success with pregabalin for anxiety but I am concerned that you are increasing dosage to such a high level and so quickly. My view is that if you do not feel any benefit for anxiety at 400mg after 2 weeks then it is unlikely to help you. This is not a drug you should be staying on if you are not receiving any (or minimal) relief for anxiety. Withdrawal can be nasty and prolonged even where taken for a short time period. Can I ask have you ever forgotten to take a dose of pregabalin? If yes what happened?
